THE IMPORTANT DECISION.

The United States Supreme Court hav-
ing decided in the case of the Pacific In
vestigating commission against Senator
Stanford, being an action to compel the
witness to answer certain questions, and to
produce books of the Union Pacific Rail-
road Co., called for by the commissioners,
"that the act of Congress creating the com.
mission improperly invested the co-opera.
ton of the courts in an inquiry that is not
judicial therefore, declining to make an
order compelling the officers to answer
questions or giving the commission access
to the books of the various railroad COM
panies," virtually closes the work of the
commission, since is is lert optional with
the railroad officials to answer questions or
furnish documentary evidence when
called for by the commission, which
of course they will decline to do
If such answers and evidence will
tend to convict the accused corpora,
lions of alleged violations Of law or of
practices such as the commission may be
striving to establish that will compromise
said corporations in their dealings with the
government. 1t is well this decision of the
supreme court was deferred to so late q
date, for had it been called out early in the
career of the commission, the act creating
it would have been practically nullifed and
the bulk of the testimony that has been
taken by the commission they would have
failed to obtain. Whether further pro-
ceedings will now be instituted by the rail-
road officials to render the testimony al
ready taken incompetent and thus undo all
the commission has done remains to be
seen. In any event congress will no doubt
take the matter up and endeavor to bring
the unsettled condition of affairs between
the government and the roads to focus,
which ought to be done without further
unnecessary delay.

In a recent interview on the subject Of

In recent interview on the subject of
our present tariff system and its benefits to
the laboring classes of this country Sena-
tor Frye took occasion to contrast the con-
dition of American labor with the deplor-
able state in which the labor of the Old
World is held. The Atlanta Constitution
in commenting upon the subject and the
Senator'S remarks says: "The contrast
presented by the condition of American
wage earners is most encouraging. In this
country every man with average health and
strength has 1t in his power to accumulate
a modest competency at least Yet, as
Senator Frye remarks, we have among US
individuals who are trying to Introduce
European ideas, customs and conditions.
They will not succeed. Before our work
ing people would be Europeanized, they
would rise en- masse and inaugurate revo-
luton" And yet In the face of such facts
and with such admissions the Constitution
adheres to the dogmas of the Democratic
party by atfiliating with it and unfolding
its vagaries In other matters. If the Con-
stitution is inspired with the hope OF
reforming that party on the tariff question
and converting 1t to rational mode OF
reasoning, it had as well rid itself of the
delusion. Ephriam is plainly on its broad
phylactery.

The appointment by the president OF

ton by the board of professors al

Prof. Baird, The recently deceased

Cues incompetency 1t is suggested that
strong opposition to his confirmation by

STATE FAIR.

The inadvertent error that we fell into a
day or two ago in casually stating that
eve believe there will be no state fair this
year" seems to have stirred up latent In
terest in that matter where we supposed
there was none, judging from the fact that
SO little has been said about 1t. Mr.. II. G.
st. Clair furnishes the following data in
reference to the exhibit that is to be made
at Topeka from the 10Th to the Oath of
September, both inclusive: owe are go
ing to have the best state fair we ever had.
The executive committee have expended
$25, 900 in buildings and water works; a
double track street railway is extended to
the grounds; $4,000 appropriated to pay
premiums; $1,000 in premiums offered to
the county making the best display" etc.
This would seem to settle it that there will
be state fair this year.

The scheme of leading citizens of Idaho
to effect the enlargement of that territory
with view to its admission into the Union
as state by securing accretions from ad
joining territory, is evidently designed tc
secure the requisite population rather than
area. If the plan is agreed to by the par
ties concerned, 1. e. the citizens of the ter
ritoly affected, the friends of the enterprise
may yet expect to make hard fight before
congress should the political status of the
candidate for admission be regarded as un
favorable to the Democrats. They will
never consent to the admission of new
Republican state into the Union, and will
never permit 1t SO long as they can invent
methods to prevent 1t.

A lively contest and one the result of
which will be watched with interest by
consumers of fresh meats east, is about to
be inaugurated before the interstate com
merce commission between the shippers of
dressed meats at Chicago and the managers
Of the trunk line railroads east from that
city. Already the dressed meat people
have appealed to the commission for inter
ference against the discrimination practiced
by the roads In the transportation of
dressed meat TO the eastern markets. The
freight rate on dressed beef in refrigerator
cars is 65 cents per 100 pounds, while for
other: provisions in similar cars the rate Is
only % cents. The dressed bsef men say
it costs the railroads no more to carry the
beef than to transport provisions, and that
the rates should be the same The rail
roads have never been disposed to favor the
dressed meat traffic, because there Is more
money in transporting the live cattle. The
fact that the dressed meat Is healthier and
can be furnished to the public cheaper has
nothing to do in the case, from the stand
point OF the railroad mansgers, who look
at 1t soly from stand point of interest to
the roads, and since the dressed meat in
terest If developed will largely reduce the
earnings of the roads it is certain they will
make strong fight before the commission.

The reported outrages upon American
missionaries on the Caroline islands by the
Spanish authorities does not bespeak credit
to the Spaniards nor an encouraging out
look for missionary work in that quarter.
There seems to have been disposition on
the part of those in official position and
their supporters to in some way connect
the missionaries on the islands with the
forcible occupation for time of the prin-
cipsl island by the Germans some months
ago, and it is believed the recent barbar-
tiles practiced toward the American mis-
sionaries and their followers and students
is the outgrowth of the feeling Of hostility
engendered toward foreigners by the Incl
dent mentioned. The pretext set up by
the Spanish authorities that the natives
were being melted to disloyalty by the
missionaries, is but adding insult to injury.
The Imprisonment of an unoffending
American citizen by foreign power has
always been cause for Interference on the
part OF this government, and the occur
renee mentioned NAV make the presence of
an armed cruiser in the waters of the
archipelago necessary before reparation is
made for the outrage perpetrated. Pity it's
that the employment of force should be
necessary for the protection of those who
have devoted their lives to labor of love,
and tbs evidences of such necessity as seems
to BE- clear and positive in this case will
coase profound regret not only to Ameri-
aus, but to the civ ilized world, though re-
grets cannot appeese the demands of JUS
tice. The outcome of this occurrence will
he watched with interest.
